The work was carried in a fragment of two hectares of hiperxerofila caatinga that it suffered clearcutting has 30 years and since then recovers without anthropic intervention at the Experimental Station of Embrapa Semiarido, Petrolina, PE. The objective was to evaluate the floristic composition and phytosociological structure, obtaining data to compare with other areas of caatinga (in different stages of succession) and then get subsidies to better understand the characterization of the successional environments of caatinga. The vegetation survey was carried out by the method of the plots, where 10 sample units of 8.0 x 40 m were plotted at random in the area. All individuals with DBH G 3 cm were inventoried, and the BHD are measured and total height of them. We recorded 16 species belonging to 13 genera and 8 families, a total of 436 individuals with AB = 7.28 m²/ha-1, and DA = 1350 ind/ha. The Shannon index of diversity (H') was 1.39 nat.ind.-1 and equability of Pielou (J '), equal to 0.50, both are considered low. The species with highest importance value (VI) and more prominent with respect to all parameters analyzed was Mimosa tenuiflora with 284 individuals distributed in all plots, DR = 65.5%, DoR = 69.6%, VC = 67.5% and VI = 49.8%. Thus, any attempt to characterize the structure of this community, have strong influence of the presence of indicator species of vegetation that is disturbed and the early stage of ecological succession.
